Person Activity Report

Research all available sources to produce a comprehensive picture of what a specific person has been working on recently. Use when you need to quickly get up to speed on a colleague's work — before a 1:1, when onboarding to a new team, or when context on someone's work area is needed.

Arguments

• person: name, email, GitHub username, or Slack group alias like @metaflow-dev-group (required). When a group alias is given, resolve to individual members and produce a consolidated report with a section per person.
• lookback_days: how far back to look (default: 30)
• --no-html: skip S3 HTML upload (default: upload HTML and share commuter link)

Workflow

1. Resolve identity. If input is a group alias (starts with @), resolve via Pandora to individual members, then run steps 2-4 for each person and produce a consolidated report with a section per person. For a single person, follow the cascade in _shared/identity-resolution.md to map to: full name, email, GitHub username, team, and role. Include resolution_confidence in the report header. Never stop to ask for names — degrade gracefully with confidence notes.

2. Search all sources in parallel. Fire these searches concurrently. When reporting on a group alias, fire per-person queries within each source in parallel too (N members × M sources = all at once, not one person at a time):

   a) GitHub activity (gh CLI — use gh api, NOT gh search which fails on GHE):

   • First discover their repos via Sourcegraph: get_contributor_repos(authors=["{name}", "{email}"])
   • For each active repo: gh api repos/{org}/{repo}/pulls?state=all&sort=created&direction=desc and filter by author
   • For reviews: gh api repos/{org}/{repo}/pulls?state=all and check reviewers
   • For commits: gh api repos/{org}/{repo}/commits?author={username}&since={lookback_date}

   b) Code changes (Sourcegraph):

   • commit_search with authors=["{name}", "{email}"] across relevant repos
   • diff_search with author="{username}" for significant code patterns added

   c) Slack threads — See _shared/slack-search.md for the standard Slack search workflow. Use query terms: the person's name and username. Look for threads they started or had significant participation in.

   d) Documents & Confluence (search API):

   • Search DOCUMENTS source for docs authored/edited by this person
   • Search CONFLUENCE source for pages they've created or updated
   • Search MANUAL source for any internal docs they've contributed to

   e) Jira/Projects (search API):

   • Search PROJECTS source for tickets assigned to or created by this person
3. Synthesize by work area. Group findings into work areas (not by source). A "work area" is a project, feature, or initiative — not "their GitHub activity" vs "their Slack activity." Cross-reference: a PR + Slack discussion + Jira ticket about the same feature = one work area.
4. Generate report. Output markdown:

## Activity Report: {name} ({username})
Role: {role} | Team: {team} | Period: last {lookback_days} days

### Current Focus Areas
(Top 2-3 work areas, synthesized across all sources)

#### 1. {Work Area Name}
- What: {1-2 sentence summary of what they're building/doing}
- Evidence: {PRs, Slack threads, docs, tickets that show this}
- Status: {in progress / shipped / blocked — from most recent signals}

#### 2. {Work Area Name}
...

### Code Activity
- PRs opened: {count} | PRs merged: {count} | Reviews done: {count}
- Most active repos: {repo1}, {repo2}
- Notable PRs: {top 3 by significance, with titles and links}

### Communication & Collaboration
- Active Slack threads: {count} in {N} channels
- Key discussion topics: {2-3 topics they've been discussing}
- Docs authored/updated: {list with links}

### Open Work
- Open PRs: {list with titles and links}
- Assigned tickets: {list if found}

5. Deliver as HTML. Follow the shared HTML delivery pattern in _shared/html-delivery.md. Report name: activity-report. TLDR includes person name (or group name) and top 2 focus areas.
6. Terminate. Report is complete when all sources have been searched, findings synthesized by work area, and HTML uploaded (or fallback noted).

Design Principles

1. Synthesize by work area, not by source. The reader wants to understand what the person is working on, not get a list of GitHub activity + Slack activity + Jira activity separately. Cross-reference sources to build a coherent picture.
2. Deterministic math first, LLM narrates only. PR counts, commit counts, and channel participation are computed from data. The LLM synthesizes the work-area narrative but doesn't invent activity.
3. Recency-weighted. Most recent activity gets the most space. A PR from yesterday matters more than one from 25 days ago.

Privacy Rules

1. Public channels only. Never search Slack DMs, private channels, or 1:1 conversations.
2. Shared docs only. Never include docs shared only between the person and their manager (performance reviews, 1:1 notes).
3. No sentiment analysis. Report what they worked on, not how they felt about it or how others perceived their work.
4. No productivity scoring. Never compute or imply a productivity score. This is a context-gathering tool, not an evaluation tool.

Golden Rules

1. Cross-reference sources. A PR title mentioning "HPO" + a Slack thread about "HPO integration" + a Jira ticket for "HPO rework" = one work area, not three separate items.
2. Search ALL configured sources. Don't skip Slack because GitHub had enough data. Each source reveals different facets of work.
3. Include links for everything. Every PR, every Slack thread, every doc — include a link so the reader can dive deeper.
4. Work areas first, raw data second. The synthesized "Current Focus Areas" section is the primary output. Code/Slack/Jira breakdowns are supporting detail.
5. Handle sparse results gracefully. If someone has no Slack activity or no Jira tickets, note it — don't pad with filler.
6. Show every resolved member. When reporting on a group alias, every resolved member gets a section — even if their only data is "1 PR review, no other signals." Silently dropping members with sparse data is a defect, not graceful degradation.

Self-Review Checklist

• Person's identity resolved (GitHub username + email + full name)
• All 5 source categories searched (GitHub, Sourcegraph, Slack, Docs, Jira)
• Findings synthesized into work areas, not listed per-source
• No DM or private channel content included
• No productivity scoring or sentiment analysis
• Links included for all PRs, threads, docs, and tickets
• Current Focus Areas section has 2-3 synthesized work areas
• Report covers the full lookback period, not just the last few days
• HTML version uploaded to S3 with commuter link (unless --no-html or upload failed with noted fallback)
• Slack/chat delivery uses TLDR + link, not the full report
• Group alias resolved to individuals with per-person sections (if applicable)
